I'm a huge Android fan and also the founder of the DroidLessons website. I started obsessing about the Android platform as soon as I got my HTC EVO phone in mid-2010. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with learning all that I can about the Android OS and sharing that knowledge with my friends and family.

Thanks for the tip on the SGS2, that’s good to know! I wonder the same thing about why it isn’t built-in to the Android OS itself. Should be a standard feature on all devices if you ask me. Hopefully in the next version!
